A central Idaho resort town mayor is at odds with state police officials over a plan to make enforcement of laws governing pot smoking the lowest police priority.
Mayor Rick Davis announced last month that officers in this city just south of Sun Valley would essentially look the other way if they found evidence that an adult had less than 3 ounces of marijuana - unless they also discovered signs of another crime.
This comes after city voters twice passed a slate of initiatives aiming to ease marijuana laws.
Now, the Idaho Statesman reportsstate law enforcement agents are concerned with Davis' approach.
Blaine County Sheriff Walt Femling says his officers will continue to enforce marijuana prohibitions.
Meanwhile, an Idaho Sheriffs Association official wants Attorney General Lawrence Wasden to intervene.
